Merrell Men Shoes

Engineered for the outdoor enthusiast in mind, the Merrell Men's Moab 3 Hiking Shoe in Granite V2 combines durability, comfort, and superior traction for all your trail adventures. Known as the "Mother of All Boots" in hiking footwear, this wide-width option (11.5 Wide US) delivers the exceptional quality and performance that Merrell has built its reputation upon for over three decades.

Superior Construction & Comfort

The Moab 3 features a premium pigskin leather and mesh upper that provides breathability without compromising durability. This combination ensures your feet stay comfortable during long hikes while protecting against the elements. The bellows tongue design effectively keeps out debris, preventing pebbles and dirt from entering the shoe during your outdoor excursions.

For enhanced convenience and environmental responsibility, Merrell has incorporated 100% recycled laces and webbing into this model. The 100% recycled mesh lining adds another layer of comfort while reducing environmental impact, making this hiking shoe a more sustainable choice for eco-conscious consumers.

Advanced Support System

At the heart of the Moab 3's comfort technology is the Kinetic Fit ADVANCED removable contoured insole. This specialized insole offers reinforced heel cushioning to provide medium support exactly where you need it most. Whether you're navigating rocky terrain or maintaining a steady pace on well-groomed trails, your feet will benefit from targeted support.

The molded nylon arch shank adds structural integrity to the shoe, providing additional stability for uneven surfaces. This feature is particularly beneficial for side-hill traversing and carrying backpack loads, significantly reducing foot fatigue during extended hiking sessions.

Shock Absorption & Comfort

Merrell's proprietary Air Cushion technology in the heel absorbs shock and adds stability with every step you take. This feature is especially valuable during downhill sections and for reducing impact on your joints. Complementing this is the lightweight EVA foam midsole, which delivers excellent stability and cushioning without adding unnecessary weight to your hiking gear.

Exceptional Traction & Durability

The Vibram TC5+ rubber sole is a standout feature of the Moab 3, offering uncompromising traction on various terrains. This industry-leading outsole provides excellent grip on both wet and dry surfaces, giving you confidence regardless of weather conditions or trail challenges. The protective toe cap adds an extra layer of defense against rocks and roots on the trail, protecting your feet from unexpected impacts.
